"Dream Heights: A Familiar, Socially-Connected Tower Building Game"

Flair of Deja Vu With a Social Spin

Dream Heights and Tiny Tower may seem quite similar, offering many parallel features. Yet, Zynga, the developer behind Dream Heights, insists that their creation is distinctive. The most notable differences between Dream Heights and Tiny Tower, but for the graphics, are the social elements involved. Dream Heights allows players to cross the Android-iOS divide and interact with friends playing the game through Facebook, a feature currently missing from the Tiny Tower experience.

Significant Facebook Integration

Beyond its correlation with Facebook, Dream Heights operates much in the same way as Tiny Tower. The game depicts a tower full of residents which players are responsible for transporting to specific floors using an elevator. The feature to provide employment for the residents, style them with various accessories, and the ability to purchase in-game currency for rapid tower development, are all shared traits with its mentioned rival.

Entertain Yourself With Intriguing Challenges

In order to retain its appeal, Dream Heights presents players with intriguing challenges, making the process of building new businesses compelling. The game requires players to refill their resources to generate profit. But patience is a virtue here: expanding your tower can take time, unless you're willing to pay real money to hasten the process. The Facebook connectivity adds an aspect of competition, encouraging players to outdo their friends and construct the tallest tower.

Verdict

Dream Heights might not have the unique aesthetic appeal and straightforward interface synonymous with Tiny Tower. However, its enhanced focus on social interactions across different platforms makes it a good pick for those whose gaming experience is not limited to personal enjoyment but extends to involve their friends.
